Sniffer
A man is sitting next to the window in an airliner, which is about to take
off, when another man with a Labrador Retriever sits down in the two empty
seats alongside him.
The Lab is situated in the middle, and the first man is looking
quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work
for the airline.
The dog’s handler said, “Don’t mind Sniffer… he’s a “sniffing” dog,
The best there is; I’ll show you once we get airborne when I put him to
work.”
The plane takes off and levels out when the handler says to the first
man, “Watch this.” He tells the dog, “Sniffer, search.”
Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and sits next to a woman
For a few seconds. He then returns to his seat and puts one paw on the
handler’s arm. His master pats him on the head and tells him “Gooood
boy!”
The handler turns to the first man and says, “That woman is in
possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of this and her seat
number for the police, who will apprehend her on arrival.”
That’s unbelievable!” replies the first man.
Once again the handler sends Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab
sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to
its seat, and places two paws on the handler’s arm.
The handler says, “That man is carrying cocaine, so again I’m making
A note of this and the seat number.”
Amazing!” says the first man.
A third time the handler sends Sniffer to search the aisles. Sniffer
goes up and down the plane and after a while sits down next to
someone. He then comes racing back, jumps up onto his seat, and craps all over the
place.
The first man is really grossed out by this behavior from a
Supposedly well-trained sniffing dog and asks, “What the hell was that all
about?”
The handler nervously replies, “Sniffer just found a bomb…”
Read MoreTitanQuest (PC) – Part 1
For years I’ve played Diablo & Diablo 2. By far the best hack and slash game around. Its 3rd person view and ever changing (random) layouts kept the game fresh and fun to play. The game play was not designed around finishing the game on different levels of difficulty. You could complete the game in normal mode but you would never find the kick ass equipment you’d fine on hard or hell mode.
(I’ll get the Titan Quest in just a second)
However, after spending hours creating your character and completing normal mode, you soon discovered on hard mode, your character was a pussy and you died all the time. So, now you had to think about and research how to create a character build that would last through those hard levels up to hell mode. After a while it all just got old.
Enter Titan Quest. Now, it’s not a Diablo replacement or Diablo killer, however, it does have its place among the hack and slash.
You still build character classes and you still have to manage inventory. However, Titan Quest comes with a level builder tool that allows you create your own levels and have friends or family play them. This keeps the burn out of always pressing the left mouse button to a minimum.
I really like Titan Quest. It’s set in the mythical age of titans and gods and where you have to make your way to stop a titan from being released. Along the way you find weapons and equipment to help you develop your character.
Like Diablo you get a skill tree that allows you create a class of warrior. Be it an archer, mage, fighter, they all have different names but do the same function. However, unlike Diablo; for the right about of money you can move skill points from one skill to another if you don’t like how your character is turning out.
This allows you some forgiveness if you pump a lot of points into a skill that turns out to suck.
Now, the game has the difficultly level normal, hard, and super hard (not the right names but you get my drift). And like always if you want to play the game past normal you better put some research in to building your character. I’ve made it with several builds to the super hard difficulty level but just can’t complete it.
The graphics are far superior to most other hack and lashers I’ve played. You can zoom way out or all the way in. However, you will tend to play all the way out since you can see monsters a long ways before they see you.
There is alot more I’d like to talk about. I’ll write a few more articals on this game that will deal with character builds and relics and such. Over all, the game is great and I suggest anyone should try it.

Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty 4 : Xbox 360 version
Call of Duty 4 is a robust FPS set in the modern time. Unlike its processors which was set in the World Wars. I’ve played a lot of FPS in my time; all the Halos, Turoks, Bonds, Unreals, and I must say COD4 is the best FPS game I’ve ever played. The graphics are great and the game play is very smooth.
There are pretty much two aspects of the game, multiplayer or story mode. I completed story mode and was pleased with the game play. However, the multiplayer game play is by far the best. There are numerous games available on xbox live: hardcore, free for all, domination, sabotage, the number of games you can play on line far out weighs single player mode.
(Single Player) You start out with a team or teammate and they set you with the equipment you will need to finish a level. The game sets goals and time limits to reach specific destinations. There is a plot but while playing the game I really didn’t care what it was.
(Multiplayer) Like all other FPS it’s yourself or you can team up against another person or team and battle to a predefine time or point limit. The game is military based so the teams are comprised of marines, terrorist, etc.
However, I will write further articles that cover different aspects of the game because one article will not cover it.
So overall, what makes this game so good:
- Graphics supported is up to 1080i (this is the mode I play in). Very little lag and no distortion at all. Beautiful soundings and in-depth visuals and graphics.
- You can shoot through walls and change up your environment. Set fires to cars that will blow up later.
- Massive online multiplayer system
- Realistic rag doll effects, shooting someone in the head will splatter blood on the wall, etc.
- Down loadable content available.
- You can custom build classes to suit you game play style. (Multiplayer only).
My next article will cover mostly the multiplayer aspect of the game. Since, that is by far my most favorite aspect.
Read MoreSTAY ALIVE
Well, first of all, I have to say I kind of liked this movie. I don’t know if people have noticed but there just aren’t a lot of good slasher films out there. Like every other typical red-blooded American male between the ages of 16-45, I like blood and carnage. The more the merrier. However, not since SCREAM has there been any GOOD twists in slasher flicks. Does STAY ALIVE qualify as a slasher flick? In my book it does. People die (teenagers) and the survivors discover it’s an evil force (sort of like Freddy, Jason, Myers, etc..). They must ban together and figure out a way to stop it. The twist in this movie is the actors are dying off like their virtual characters did in a video game… hence the name STAY ALIVE.
I will warn you though, if you are one of these people who like to pick apart movies and plot lines, then skip this movie. There is parts in this flick that really doesn’t make any sense. For instance, I’m playing a computer game, that when I die in the game, I will die like that in real life. Ok, hmmmm.. Once I figure that little piece of important information out, wouldn’t you think it’d be a wise move to SHUT THE FUCKING GAME OFF????
They also figure out that the killer can be temporary stopped by using a Red Rose. So they carry a few of them around. A FEW!? I’d be wearing a rose suit, necklace, and tie. I’d have them in my hair; I’d be taking a bath in the leaves, heck I’d even eat a few for good measure.
Over all, I liked it. It was just a little different.
Now a side note:
I know that everyone is talking about SAW III. The first SAW was a great concept. But the sequels offer nothing new. Ok, you take a bunch of stupid people and place them in situations you know they will lose at. Heck, you can do that forever. SAW is no different from the FRIDAY 13th movies. After the first movie you weren’t scared any more. You just watched the flicks to see how creatively that Jason could disembowel someone. SAW is the same way. They need to spice things up some. Maybe Jigsaw meets Jason! Now that would be a flick I’d want to go see. Oh man, I can see it now.
Scene:
Jason wakes up in a room with very little light. There is a female body bound and gagged with duct tape on the floor.
Jason looks around. He has a giant steel trap screwed into his head. He stands up and accidentally pulls a cord that starts a timer and turns on a TV.
JigSaw comes on the tv:+ “Jason, you lived a life wrought with death. You now have 60 seconds left to get the giant trap off your head before it flips and rips your lower jaw off“
Jason looks around dumbfounded.
JigSaw continues: “You have two choices, 1. let the device snap your jaw off or use the key that I hid behind the eye of the girl of the floor. Chose now.”
Jason looks around and then suddenly rips the trap off his head. Bone and meat along with blood goes flying in all directions..
“NO JASON.. THAT’S NOT HOW WE PLAY HERE!”, JigSaw screams out.
Jason then reaches down and grabs the girl up off the floor with both hands. Holding her a good 8 inches off the floor he squashes her head like an over ripe grape. Shooting the key out of her eye socket and across the floor.
“JASON!!”, JigSaw yells…..
Jason heads for the only door in the room. He busts through it like it was door like it was built by Koffman and Broad. In the next room he sees a person trying to open a safe. The floor is covered with a flammable liquid and a candle is lit on the safe. The person sees Jason coming toward him and cowers back against the wall. Jason picks up the safe and throws it toward the man.
The safe strikes the guy and smashes him through the wall like a car hitting a dog doing eighty miles an hour.
“JASON!! STOP!!!“… JigSaw yells in the back ground.
